HOW TO MAKE A (FAKE) MONSTER

Photographer  Vallis  has  been  annoying  spiders  of   late . In the process of  trying  to  snap  a  tiny  spider , above ,  in   a  web   strung  between  trees  ,flapping  about  in  the    wind , he  had a  strange  experience  when   he   downloaded   the   chip. 

Because of his  failing eyesight and  the  wind ,  all his  shots  were out of focus  and  produced a  frightening  series of   images  of   a   monster , almost as  big  as  a car , which  would scare the  neighbour's kids  and  set   dogs  barking  hysterically . 

With the help of a neighbour, below,  who has  had a lot of  experience   photographing  wildlife  , Vallis  went  out  and  finally   got  the  spider in   focus  against   his   shaky  hand .
